群体感应(Quorum sensing, QS)是细菌通过信号分子分泌、识别,从而调控基因水平转移、毒力因子分泌、芽孢产生及生物膜形成等群体行为的细胞交流机制。干扰信号分子的分泌、识别,可以阻断群体感应,实现群体淬灭。群体淬灭(Quorum quenching, QQ)是目前致病性控制、致腐性预防以及生物膜污染削减的重要策略之一。本文以群体感应信号分泌-识别-响应为主线,将群体感应分为等级、平行及竞争型三类调控方式,并对其特征进行了详细阐述;同时,探讨了信号分子类似物、信号分子降解酶剂、信号受体激活剂/抑制剂等策略在不同调控方式淬灭中的适用性;最后,对群体感应调控及淬灭进行了展望,以期为丰富细菌群体感应认知、促进群体淬灭应用提供参考。 相似文献

Cells respond to the environment and alter gene expression. Recent studies have revealed the social aspects of bacterial life, such as biofilm formation. Biofilm formation is largely affected by the environment, and the mechanisms by which the gene expression of individual cells affects biofilm development have attracted interest. Environmental factors determine the cell’s decision to form or leave a biofilm. In addition, the biofilm structure largely depends on the environment, implying that biofilms are shaped to adapt to local conditions. Second messengers such as cAMP and c-di-GMP are key factors that link environmental factors with gene regulation. Cell-to-cell communication is also an important factor in shaping the biofilm. In this short review, we will introduce the basics of biofilm formation and further discuss environmental factors that shape biofilm formation. Finally, the state-of-the-art tools that allow us investigate biofilms under various conditions are discussed. 相似文献

基于Lux型群体感应系统的生物被膜调控在污水处理中的研究备受关注,群体感应系统的干预包括正向强化和负向削弱两类。群体感应系统的正向强化作用可提高生物膜法污水处理中的挂膜速度,提高污水处理效率,促进活性污泥中胞外聚合物(Extracellular polymeric substance,EPS)和可溶性微生物产物(Soluble microbial products,SMP)的生成,提高生物被膜的产量;群体感应的负向削弱作用可以降解生物被膜形成过程中所需要的信号分子,切断生物被膜形成的基因表达过程,有效抑制MBR膜表面生物被膜的形成,防止膜污染。对信号分子酰基高丝氨酸内酯(N-acyl homoserine lactone,AHLs)的结构和作用机理的进一步研究、群体感应淬灭菌的固定化技术与应用、多种防治膜污染方法的协同效果验证及群体感应干预在更多污水处理领域的应用可行性是该领域要研究的几个重要方向。 相似文献

Bacterial biofilm formation causes serious problems in various fields of medical, clinical, and industrial settings. Antibiotics and biocide treatments are typical methods used to remove bacterial biofilms, but biofilms are difficult to remove effectively from surfaces due to their increased resistance. An alternative approach to treatment with antimicrobial agents is using biofilm inhibitors that regulate biofilm development without inhibiting bacterial growth. In the present study, we found that linoleic acid (LA), a plant unsaturated fatty acid, inhibits biofilm formation under static and continuous conditions without inhibiting the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. LA also influenced the bacterial motility, extracellular polymeric substance production, and biofilm dispersion by decreasing the intracellular cyclic diguanylate concentration through increased phosphodiesterase activity. Furthermore, quantitative gene expression analysis demonstrated that LA induced the expression of genes associated with diffusible signaling factor‐mediated quorum sensing that can inhibit or induce the dispersion of P. aeruginosa biofilms. These results suggest that LA is functionally and structurally similar to a P. aeruginosa diffusible signaling factor (cis‐2‐decenoic acid) and, in turn, act as an agonist molecule in biofilm dispersion. 相似文献

群体感应是细菌根据细胞密度变化进行基因表达调控的一种生理行为。当细菌密度达到临界阈值时能释放一些特定的自诱导信号分子,从而调节本种群或同环境中其他种群的群体行为。细菌群体感应参与包括人类、动植物、病原菌在内的多种生物的生物学功能调节,如生物膜的形成、毒力因子的产生、病原菌的耐药性等。深入研究病原菌群体感应系统的调控机制,将提高对病原菌发病机制的认识,有利于以群体感应作为防治疾病策略的研究。系统阐述了群体感应系统的组成类型、群体感应与病原菌致病性的关系,及其在抑制病原菌致病方面的应用。 相似文献

This study revealed that a Pseudomonas aeruginosa tonB1 mutant was unable to produce a mature biofilm and showed reduced swarming and twitching motilities compared with the parent strain. The tonB1 mutant was also found to produce significantly lower cell-free and cell-associated levels of the quorum sensing (QS) signal molecule 3-oxo-C12-AHL. Altered biofilm and motility phenotypes were restored to wildtype with the addition of exogenous N-acylhomoserine lactones. These functions were independent of the role of TonB1 in iron uptake. This is the first time that a link has been established between TonB1 activity and QS. 相似文献

Acinetobacter baumannii causes several nosocomial infections and poses major threat when it is multidrug resistant. Even pan drug-resistant strains have been reported in some countries. The intensive care unit (ICU) mortality rate ranged from 45.6% to 60.9% and it is as high as 84.3% when ventilator-associated pneumonia was caused by XDR (extensively drug resistant) A. baumannii. Acinetobacter baumannii constituted 9.4% of all Gram-negative organisms throughout the hospital and 22.6% in the ICUs according to a study carried out in an Indian hospital. One of the major factors contributing to drug resistance in A. baumannii infections is biofilm development. Quorum sensing (QS) facilitates biofilm formation and therefore the search for ‘quorum quenchers’ has increased recently. Such compounds are expected to inhibit biofilm formation and hence reduce/prevent development of drug resistance in the bacteria. Some of these compounds also target synthesis of some virulence factors (VF). Several candidate drugs have been identified and are at various stages of drug development. Since quorum quenching, inhibition of biofilm formation and inhibition of VF synthesis do not pose any threat to the DNA replication and cell division of the bacteria, chances of resistance development to such compounds is presumably rare. Thus, these compounds ideally qualify as adjunct therapeutics and could be administered along with an antibiotic to reduce chances of resistance development and also to increase the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapy. This review describes the state-of-art in QS process in Gram-negative bacteria in general and in A. baumannii in particular. This article elaborates the nature of QS mediators, their characteristics, and the methods for their detection and quantification. Various potential sites in the QS pathway have been highlighted as drug targets and the candidate quorum quenchers which inhibit the mediator’s synthesis or function are enlisted. 相似文献

Quorum sensing (QS), a cell-to-cell communication process, entails the production of signaling molecules that enable synchronized gene expression in microbial communities to regulate myriad microbial functions, including biofilm formation. QS disruption may constitute an innovative approach to the design of novel antifouling and anti-biofilm agents. To identify novel quorum sensing inhibitors (QSI), 2,500 environmental bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC) from uncultured marine planktonic bacteria were screened for QSI activity using soft agar overlaid with wild type Chromobacterium violaceum as an indicator. Of the BAC library clones, 7% showed high QSI activity (>40%) against the indicator bacterium, suggesting that QSI is common in the marine environment. The most active compound, eluted from BAC clone 14-A5, disrupted QS signaling pathways and reduced biofilm formation in both Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. The mass spectra of the active BAC clone (14-A5) that had been visualized by thin layer chromatography was dominated by a m/z peak of 362.1. 相似文献

The formation of biofilm communities enhances the persistence of Vibrio cholerae in aquatic environments. Biofilm production is repressed by the quorum-sensing regulator HapR in response to the accumulation of CAI-1 and AI-2. CAI-1 is the strongest input signal activating HapR, whereas the role of AI-2 remains ill-defined. In the present study, we show that a V. cholerae luxS (AI-2-defective) mutant made increased biofilm. Interestingly, cells in the biofilm were more responsive to AI-2 deficiency than cells from the planktonic population. 相似文献

Acinetobacter junii strain BB1A, a novel metal-tolerant bacterium, produced biofilm in the presence of added ions such as Ni(2+), AsO(2)(-), Cd(2+) and Hg(2+) on surfaces such as glass and polystyrene. Generation of a metal-sensitive and adhesion-deficient mutant by transposition of Tn5-mob in the A. junii genome has putatively confirmed the association of metal tolerance with the production of biofilm. The requirement of a critical cell density for biofilm formation and presence of acyl-homoserine lactone-like autoinducer molecules in the cell-free supernatant indicated the phenomenon of quorum sensing. Addition of a natural quorum-sensing inhibitor (garlic extract) or synthetic quorum-sensing inhibitor (4-nitro-pyridine oxide) significantly inhibited cell growth and biofilm formation in the presence of metal/metalloid ions. 相似文献
